Impedance Measurement

CITS880s - Polar Instruments Inc (Polar Instruments)

Finer geometries and thinner copper can present a challenge for fabricators measuring impedance on leading edge PCBs. The CITS880s answers that challenge with the introduction of Launch Point Extrapolation (LPE). LPE extrapolates the TDR response back to a point close to the start of the transmission line effectively allowing to users more accurately to measure the instantaneous or incident impedance of the line.
